Darlington Pensioners Night 2024

It’s been a while - May 2023, but we are delighted to announce another Pensioners Night and a return to the November slot.

It will take place at Darlington Cricket Club, Feethams, commencing at 7.30pm on Thursday, 14th November, 2024.

We chose May last year as we thought more people may attend if the weather was better, but it turned out a lot were on holiday, so back to the dark nights it is.

The evening is open to all retired Police and Support Staff who served or worked in the Division. There will be a free drink on arrival. 14th November is both national Spicy Guacamole Day and National Pickle Day. Have no worries - you’re getting a Taylors pie and peas.

As usual there will be a raffle with some wonderful prizes. We hope you will contribute as this will help finance future reunions. Cash is preferable  If you can think of anyone else who may not receive this, then please pass on the message.

Unfortunately, we will be unable to provide transport.

We look forward to welcoming you on the 14th November.

Signed: The Committee

Sean Jackson, Fred Wood, Malcolm Lear, Alec Francis, John Hoar and Paul Murphy

Silvertime Legal Services

We have arranged for their local representative to attend our next branch meeting which will be held at the Masonic Centre, Station Road, Chester-le-Street, DH3 3DU at 19:30 hours on Monday 11th November.

The speaker will present a light hearted talk explaining about making a will,  powers of attorney both for finance and health, and what will happen to your cash and property if you depart this earth without making the choices you intended.

There will be no "hard sell".  If, when the talk is over, you are interested then a private meeting arrangement will be made. Or you can take a card and discus matters at home and then make your own decisions.

Please spread the word. It would be great to see the meeting well attended.

Don't forget to let Sue know if you are attending so that she has some idea of the catering requirements.  Text 07932 613 031
